TMK
Commissions New Production Lines at TMK-INOX
TMK-INOX,
a subsidiary of TMK, has commissioned a shop manufacturing stainless steel and
alloy-based welded precision pipes.
Two
welding lines produced by Italy’s OLIMPIA 80 Srl, a leading manufacturer of pipe
welding equipment, were installed at the plant. At the next stage of the welded
stainless steel pipes production development, a top-of-the-line high-performance
large stainless steel coil slitter is to be commissioned.
The new
welded stainless steel pipe shop produces high-quality pipes conforming to
world-class samples and standards (DIN 17457-11850, ASTM A249, A269, A270, and
NFA 49147-49249), which are in great demand with car manufacturers, food,
energy, and construction companies.
According
to the project plans, after reaching their full production capacity the lines
will annually produce 10,000 tonnes of high-tech welded stainless steel and
alloy pipes.
“The new
shop commissioning marks the second stage of the precision stainless steel pipes
manufacturing as part of our unique TMK-INOX project. When starting our
nanotechnology-based production of seamless stainless steel pipes two years ago,
we laid the groundwork for our expansion into the emergent market niche of
special-purpose pipes. With the production of welded stainless steel pipes now
in place, we are ready to further strengthen our market position by offering our
customers a wide range of innovative products in this segment,” said Alexander
Shiryaev, TMK CEO.
